SOUNDBITE (English): Marianne Rosenberg, Granddaughter of original owner of painting, art dealer Paul Rosenberg: "I am hoping that the museum will realise that they are in a morally very tenuous position and that it is their obligation to return the painting to the owners. It's a stolen piece of work, full stop." 17. Wide of Rosenberg walking down street STORYLINE: A gallery in Norway said on Monday that it must first investigate before making a decision on whether to give a painting seized by Nazis during World War II back to its original owners and must investigate the case. The family of a prominent Jewish art dealer - who had the painting taken from his gallery in Paris under the direction of leading Nazi Hermann Goering - are demanding the gallery returns the painting. The painting at the centre of the dispute, Matisse's 1937 "Blue Dress in a Yellow Armchair," depicts a woman sitting in a living room. It has been among the highlights of the Henie Onstad Art Centre near Oslo since the museum was established in 1968 through a donation by wealthy art collector Niels Onstad and his wife, Olympic figure-skating champion Sonja Henie. Museum Director Tone Hansen said on Monday it had been unaware the painting was stolen by the Nazis until it was notified in 2012 by the London-based Art Loss Register, which tracks lost and stolen paintings. "We have no doubt that this is true and we acknowledge the fact that it was stolen but we have to find out what happened to the painting," she said. Although the war ended almost 70 years ago, disputes over looted art have become increasingly common in recent years, in part because many records were lost, and in part because an international accord on returning such art was only struck in 1998. But the case of the Matisse is somewhat different as its former owner, Paul Rosenberg, was one of the most prominent art dealers in Paris before the war, which he survived by fleeing to New York. The Art Loss Register says the records in this case are unusually clear. According to a biography published by New York's Museum of Modern Art, Rosenberg was one of the pre eminent modern art dealers of his day, and personal friends with Picasso and Matisse, among others. Art Registry documents show he purchased "Blue Dress" directly from the painter, having noted the purchase in 1937 and put it on display in the same year, according to a lawyer for the Art Loss Register. After the war, Rosenberg re-established his business and sought to recover more than 400 works that had been taken by the Nazis. "I am hoping that the museum will realise that they are in a morally very tenuous position and that it is their obligation to return the painting to the owners," Rosenberg's granddaughter Marianne Rosenberg said on Friday. "It's a stolen piece of work, full stop," she added. The Art Loss Registry has slammed the Henie Onstad Art Centre for "stonewalling." "It's too early for the Art Centre to make any conclusions regarding this painting," Hansen said on Monday. "What we can say is that we do and what we decide upon here will make precedence for further cases in Norway in the future so we need to spend the time needed in order to investigate this case properly before we make any conclusions." Paul Rosenberg died in 1959. His family has remained prominent, as his son Alexandre was a war hero and later began his own art dealership. Among surviving family descendants are Anne Sinclair, the French journalist and ex-wife of former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss Kahn. Under Norwegian law, if a person has had an item in good faith for more than 10 years, that person becomes the rightful owner. That argument runs against the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art, to which Norway is a party. The principles say that owners of looted art should take into account the difficulty that Jewish war survivors faced in reclaiming lost property after the Holocaust, and that owners of looted art should in all cases seek a fast and fair solution. The Seattle Art Museum returned a Matisse to the Rosenberg family in 1999, after initially making similar arguments.

SOT Philip Hook, Sotheby's Senior Director of Impressionist and Modern Art: "He did 23 in this series of haystacks at different times of day, under different lights, different weather conditions and 15 of those pictures are in major museums at the moment so this is one of only 8 out of captivity, if you like. The unique thing about this one is that it's just not been seen in public since 1895. It's been in the private collection of two French families ever since 1895." APTN - 26th June 2001 6. GVs auction NO NEEDLES IN THIS HAYSTACK ========================== "Haystacks, Last Rays of the Sun", a painting by French impressionist Claude Monet, was sold for £10.1 million British pounds (14.3 million US dollars) at auction in London , Sotheby's auctioneers said on Wednesday. In a packed auction room three contenders pushed the haystacks up to almost double the pre-sale estimate of £5.7 million British pounds (8 million US dollars) - a record for a painting from the artist's 23-piece Haystacks series according to Sothebys. The painting has not been seen in public for over a hundred years. Now it will probably go back into privacy. The successful buyer remained anonymous. Monet worked on his iconic Haystacks series between 1890-91 and it marked a radical departure from his earlier Impressionist work. He painted the group under varying impressions of light at different times of the day and under differing weather so as to achieve almost abstract effects. The series of 23 canvasses are now recognised by art historians and critics as an important landmark in the development of modern art. The work was originally bought directly from Monet by his friend Paul Gallimard in 1891, the year after it was painted. It was last seen in public in 1895 when it was exhibited in Paris at the Galerie Durand-Ruel. It was later acquired in 1953 by a private French collector. The winning bid was short of the record £19.8 million (pounds) paid for a Monet painting, Waterlily Pond and Path by Water, which went under the hammer at Sotheby's in 1998. But at this price the bidder is almost certainly not representing a public collection. The other Monet on sale, "Au Parc Monceau", which depicts a group of Parisian women in their Sunday best, also exceeded its estimate. The painting was expected to fetch 2 million British pounds (2.9 US dollars) - it went for 3.7 million British pounds.(5.2 million US dollars) In an unprecedented deal the proceeds will be shared with the heirs of a Jewish couple who were forced by the Nazis to sell it. It took 2 years for Sotheby's to contact and establish the family of the former owners. Now they can be compensated for their loss.

Bragg, Jr., and Special Agent in Charge Ivan J. Arvelo of Homeland Security Investigations, New York, today announced the return of an eleventh artwork to the family of Fritz Grünbaum, an Austrian-Jewish cabaret performer whose art collection was stolen by the Nazi regime. The drawing, Seated Nude Woman, front view by the Austrian artist Egon Schiele, was seized by the Offices Antiquities Trafficking Unit in 2024.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The piece is being returned from the estate of Gustav Gus Papanek. The Papaneks were Austrian Jews who fled the Nazis in 1938 and purchased the artwork unaware it had been stolen from Mr. Grünbaum. The Papanek family fully cooperated with the Offices investigation. The drawing was returned at a ceremony today with D.A. Bragg, Acting Deputy Special Agent in Charge O'Malley and members of both the Grünbaum and Papanek families.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>In September 2023, the Office returned seven Schiele artworks from the Museum of Modern Art; The Ronald Lauder Collection; The Morgan Library; The Santa Barbara Museum of Art; and the Vally Sabarsky Trust in Manhattan. An additional artwork was surrendered by the collector Michael Lesh directly to the family in October 2023. In January 2024, two more artworks were returned, one from the Allen Museum of Art at Oberlin College and the other from the Carnegie Museum of Art.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The Schiele drawing Russian War Prisoner remains seized in place at the Art Institute of Chicago.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The history behind Nazi-looted art is horrific and tragic, and the consequences are still impacting victims and their families to this day. It is inspiring to see both the Grünbaum and Papanek families join together to reflect on their shared history and preserve the legacy of Fritz Grünbaum. I want to commend the Reif family for harnessing Fritz Grünbaums legacy to create a better world by using the funds from their auctions to support underprivileged artists. Their commitment to giving back to the community is incredibly moving and should serve as an example for others to follow. I also want to thank the Papanek family for their willingness to fully cooperate throughout this entire investigation, and to the attorneys and analysts in our Antiquities Trafficking Unit for their tireless commitment to returning these artworks, said District Attorney Bragg.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The recovery of this important artwork --- stolen from a prominent Jewish critic of Adolf Hitler ---sends a message to the world that crime does not pay and that the law enforcement community in New York has not forgotten the dark lessons of World War II. District Attorney Bragg and his team led by Assistant District Attorney Bogdanos have not forgotten. Agent-In-Charge Arvelo of the Department of homeland Security and his exceptional team have not forgotten. The family of Fritz Grünbaum salutes each and all of you as shining examples of the best ideals of law enforcement, said Timothy Reif, relative of Fritz Grünbaum.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>We believe that returning the drawing is the right thing to do. We are fortunate that our family, including Helene, Ernst, Gus and Hanna Papanek were able to enjoy viewing this work of art on a daily basis. The experience of the two families serves as yet another reminder of the evil and brutality of the Nazi regime, said the Papanek family.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>"We must never forget the unimaginable depravity inflicted upon the Grünbaums and all who were killed during the Holocaust, nor can we ever reverse the inhumanities of the past. We hope that we can, at the very least, provide the Reif family with the freedom to dictate for themselves how they choose to honor and recognize their slain loved ones, said HSI New York Special Agent in Charge Ivan J. Arvelo. I commend HSI New York's Cultural Property, Art and Antiquities group, in coordination with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, for their commitment to securing whatever justice possible for the Grünbaums and their progeny."&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Seated Nude Woman, front view is believed to depict Schieles wife, Edith, and was drawn in 1918.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Fritz Grünbaum possessed hundreds of artworks, including more than 80 works by Egon Schiele. He was captured by the Nazis in 1938 after their annexation of Austria and was forced to execute a power of attorney while he was imprisoned in Dachau in favor of his wife, Elisabeth Grünbaum, who was later compelled to hand over his entire art collection to Nazi officials. Both Grünbaums died in concentration camps during the war.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Grünbaums collection was inventoried by art historian and Nazi-party member Franz Kieslinger and then impounded in the Nazi-controlled warehouse Schenker &amp; Co A.G. in September 1938. All works by Schiele had been declared degenerate and many of the confiscated works were auctioned or sold abroad to finance the Nazi war machine in a program overseen by Hitlers Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. After Grünbaums Schiele collection was taken by the Nazis in 1938, it did not surface again for more than a decade.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>In 1956, the artworks suddenly reappeared in Bern, Switzerland, and were sold by Eberhard Kornfeld, the owner of G&amp;K Auction House, who died in April 2023. During the war, Hitlers personal art curator, Hildebrand Gurlitt, was authorized to sell off degenerate artwork that had been seized by the Nazi government as part of Goebbelss program. Then, in the decades after the war, Kornfeld established a close business relationship with Hildebrand Gurlitts son Cornelius, from whom Kornfeld received hundreds of Nazi-looted artworks stolen from Holocaust victims.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Kornfeld then sold most of Grünbaums Schieles to Otto Kallir, the owner of the NYC-based Galerie St. Etienne, with no provenance or ownership history. Kallir knew the artworks had belonged to Fritz Grünbaum before his death, however, because Kallir had seen the drawings in the Grünbaums Vienna apartment in 1928 when Kallir borrowed them for an exhibition at his Neue Galerie in Vienna. After purchasing the drawings from Kornfeld, Kallir transported them into Manhattan and then sold them to private collectors, individuals, and institutions.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Two of the individuals who purchased drawings from Kallir were Ernst and Helene Papanek, the parents of Gus Papanek. The Papanek family fled Nazi persecution in 1938 and emigrated to the United States in 1940. In 1961, they purchased Seated Nude Woman from Otto Kallir. Gus Papanek received the drawing as a gift from his parents in 1969, where it remained in his estate until his death in 2022. When the Office approached the family in 2024 and with evidence of the drawings theft, Papaneks heirs fully cooperated with our investigation and consented to the return of the drawing.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>During District Attorney Braggs tenure, the ATU has recovered almost 2,100 antiquities stolen from more than 30 countries and valued at more than $250 million. Since its creation, the ATU has convicted 16 defendants for cultural-property-trafficking offenses, filed extraditions for 6 others, recovered more than 5,700 antiquities valued at more than $450 million, and returned more than 4,600 to more than 25 countrieswith another 1,000 scheduled to be repatriated in the coming months.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Assistant District Attorney Matthew Bogdanos, Chief of the Antiquities Trafficking Unit and Senior Trial Counsel conducted the investigation along with Assistant District Attorney Edward Smith, Investigative Analyst Hilary Chassé, and Special Agent Megan Buckley. The District Attorneys Office would like to thank the Papanek Family for their admirable assistance and cooperation with our investigation.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>### &lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>PressOffice-ManhattanDA&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>1 Hogan Pl, New York, NY 10013 &lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Unsubscribe &lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Station Notes/Scripts:&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--SUPERS&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--VIDEO SHOWS&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--VO SCRIPT&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--LEAD IN&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--SOT&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--TAG&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS&lt;/b>--&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>-----END-----CNN.SCRIPT-----&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--KEYWORD TAGS--&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>

Altmann leaving Klimt exhibit STORYLINE A gold-encrusted portrait by Gustav Klimt that was at the heart of a battle over Nazi-looted art has been purchased for a record price in the US. The 1907 portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer - one of the world's most recognisable paintings - was purchased by a New York museum co-founded by cosmetics mogul Ronald S. Lauder, the seller's attorney confirmed on Sunday. The attorney refused to disclose the price but said it eclipsed the record of 104.1 (m) million US dollars paid at auction for Picasso's 1905 "Boy With a Pipe (The Young Apprentice)." The New York Times, citing experts familiar with the negotiations, reported the portrait sold for 135 (m) million US dollars. The "Adele Bloch-Bauer I" painting will head to the Neue Galerie, a museum of German and Austrian art in New York. "It is really our 'Mona Lisa' and it will bring the Neue Gallery to a whole new level," deputy director Scott Gutterman told AP Television News. The painting was sold by Bloch-Bauer's niece, Maria Altmann, and her family. The 90-year-old was a newlywed when she watched the Nazis seize power in 1938 and steal the portrait and four other Klimts from her aunt and uncle's home. Since then, the portrait has primarily been in the Austrian Gallery Belvedere in Vienna, near Klimt's famous painting "The Kiss". Altmann feared she had no hope of recovering the collection until a 1998 law in Austria required museums to return art seized by the Nazis. Still, the Los Angeles resident battled against the Austrian government for seven years to recover the painting. In a statement released by the family, Altmann said it was "important for the heirs and for my aunt Adele that her work be displayed in a museum".
